Named Storms in the UK
A storm will be named when it has the potential to cause an amber or red warning.
If a low pressure system is intense enough, it may become a named storm. The UK Metoffice name storms which they forecast will have an impact upon the UK.
Two have been named so far this season by the Metoffice – Aiden on 30 October and Bella on 24 December 2020.
